The House on Thursday is expected to advance a three-year extension of Obamacare subsidies, sending the bill to the Senate where it faces an uphill climb.

$21 BILLION IN OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES CAN’T BE TRACED TO ACTUAL PEOPLE Government Accountability Office decided to see if anyone’s actually watching the store. So they made 20 completely fictitious applicants – no real people, no documentation, just testing if the system would notice. 18 of them are still actively covered. September 2025.

Massive Obamacare fraud uncovered. In 2023, 1 in 3 subsidy recipients—$21B total—used Social Security numbers that didn’t match IRS records. Fake applicants in 2024–25? Most were approved.

Authored by Mike Shedlock via mishtalk, Trump rejected a one-year deal. Any guesses for how long now? Big I Told You So Well guess what. After refusing a one-year extension deal, Trump may agree to a multi-year extension. Please note Trump says it ‘may be necessary’ to extend Obamacare subsidies that fueled shutdown President Donald Trump …
Good question from @BritHume: “If we cannot as a nation decide not to continue a subsidy that was imposed, or was enacted, during a national health emergency and was designed to be temporary and that all the Democrats voted to have be temporary, if we can’t let that expire, what hope do we ever have …

@Avik : “[Obamacare] overcharged healthy people that needed insurance to help fund the cost of insurance for sick people, and overcharged young people… The end result is, if only sicker and older people buy insurance, the price of insurance for everybody goes through the roof.” WHAT WENT WRONG WITH OBAMACARE?@Avik: "[Obamacare] overcharged healthy people that …
SCOTT JENNINGS: “One thing that came out of this entire fight is that Obamacare has been exposed as a complete and utter failure. We all know it.

by Martin Armstrong The Affordable Care Plan (Obamacare) was never affordable, admits the editorial board of the Washington Post.

OK. So we repeal Obamacare What happens next? What do the 44-45 million current Obamacare clients do for Health insurance? I do favor removing all Non citizens from the program. And suspect were they to be removed that the system would probably be a lot more functional. — Angie Pratt (@ArkansasAngie) October 8, 2025 Health …
The reality is that Obamacare is only affordable when it is heavily subsidized. The complete failure of the “Affordable” Care Act is why health insurance premiums have skyrocketed. That’s why I introduced a bill to completely—and responsibly—repeal Obamacare. Repeal the ACA, open the insurance markets in every state for all companies to compete without ridiculous …
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @RepMTG I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare, “Affordable Care Act” bullshit started. I got here in 2021. As a matter of fact, the ACA made health insurance UNAFFORDABLE for my family after it was passed, with skyrocketing premiums higher than our house payment. Let’s just say as nicely …
Healthcare premiums skyrocketing are a symptom of the issue, not the cause. We need free-market solutions that drive competition, lower costs, and increase quality, rather than relying on government intervention.

They’re the fixers, the ones who step in when Affordable Care Act enrollees have a problem with their coverage, like a newborn incorrectly left off a policy or discovering that a rogue broker had signed them up or switched their plan without consent. Specially trained caseworkers help resolve such issues, which might otherwise cause consumers …
My personal policy (family of 4 at the time) went from $305 per month, and a $1,500 deductible the year before ACA to $960/m with $6,500.

You bastard. You took away my low premium PPO and replaced it with a bankrupting piece of crap HMO with outrageous premiums and deductibles and far worse provider choice and coverage.

It’s hilarious how they pretend to be intellectuals but the minute you even question any of their points they flip out and cry foul.
